I don't know if this clarifies things but my changes have been to
stackless.py, the API. I added the ability to monitor many channels at
once, a la Newsqueak/Limbo/Go. This should not break existing code (so far it doesn't but I need to write more tests). I also want to starting to play with join conditions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join-calculus) and pattern matching.
However I want to get deeper into PyPy. I would like to implement Select as a language feature as an exercise rather than an actual change to the language. I am looking the Javascript and Smalltalk VMs but I don't know where to start for Python itself. Also I wouldn't mind learning more about the stackless transform.
Cheers,
Andrew
